"...The 2nd of May, 2014, began as a day like any other. Although many had seen that in previous days, fascist thugs from the neo-Nazi group Right Sector, the neo-fascist party Svoboda as well as far-right football hooligans from outside the region had descended on Odessa. They continued to pour in on the morning of the 2nd.
By the afternoon, the fascist gangs started violently attacking the anti-fascist protesters. As the anti-fascists come under increasingly violent attacks, the peaceful protesters ran into the Trade Unions House, eventually barricading themselves inside for protection.
As the afternoon wore on, fascists were seen firing shots into the building and then they began to set the building on fire using a combination of Molotov cocktail and flaming debris.
As the fire raged, the fascists surrounded the front and back of the building, prohibiting escape. Many of the protesters, some in their mid-teens died of asphyxiation. Others jumped to their deaths.
Some who jumped and survived the initial fall were beaten to death. Others were tortured to the brink of death.
The authorities did nothing."...

That's about as close to the truth this article gets.
Calling pro Russian separatists, armed and funded by Moscow "antifascist" and "peaceful protestors" sounds, exactly like CNN.
Notice anyone else that flies the red "Hammer and Sickle" flag, calls anyone that disagrees fascists, nazis and nationalists; call themselves "antifascist" and "peaceful protestors" and routinely uses violence, then whines when they are hit back?
the only difference in practical terms is the faux communists are not racist nationalists. I would argue, Most of the West including America is run as pseudo fascist states, where the corps are in bed with the gubmint, and the leaders prop up companies even when they’re failing, and the politicians use companies to do their dirty work. The only difference is in Europe, where at least in the nordic social welfare countries... you get a big bang for your tax dollars. And please don’t tell me Sweden is a socialist country, its’ agencies are very decentralized and that’s why they were able to make their own flexible covid rules.
I’m frankly so disturbed the media has chosen to not talk about all these atrocities that led to the current state of Russian intervention. And when the western media declares there are only a handful of nazi’s int he Ukraine, I’d like to remind them that Russian which at one point 40% of the population spoke is an illegal language. Some of those russian speakers in the east do not speak any Ukrainian. My father rip, was from Kiev... his family lived there since the 1600’s coming from Germany(jews), Poland and Russia. When asked they always said they were Russian, from Kiev as that was the culture and language. Let’s not forget Zelensky ran on a ticket of unification... the nazi’s didn’t vote for him, but the cultural russians did as he disagreed with the notion they shouldn’t speak russian.
Stop invading other countries, with Russian soldiers, little green men or Russian freelancers on vacation.
You're immediately being dishonest by calling Putin's invasion an 'Russian intervention'
Oh sure, that article sounds like an Antifa member describing their interaction with a group of Republicans where the Antifa members were throwing smoke bombs but somehow the Antifa thugs were the victims.
Even the left leaning sites don't describe what happened at that protest as anything near what your article says.
Its just more propaganda from the Russian version of Antifa.
Also a must read for those who deny that US officials like Noodlehead (Nuland) engineered “color revolutions” in Ukraine, in concert with corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs and in some cases neo-Nazis!!!!
These “color revolutions” are a major cause of the current war in Ukraine!!!!
The illegal Revolution Deposing a Democratically Fraudulently elected President Yanukovich!
Fixed it for you.
Interesting. Why didn’t international observers protest the Fraudulent election?
“Anyone killing Russian invaders or their supporters is fine by me.”
God have mercy on your soul.
Burnt Alive in Odessa

If the Russian invaders go home then no more Russian invaders need to die.
Crazy how that works, isn’t it?
The umpteenth repeat of same repeated Kremlin authored crap from the Kremlin attached web site:

“If the Russian invaders go home then no more Russian invaders need to die.
Crazy how that works, isn’t it?”
You are so ignorant. If you would do research rather than let your blind hatred guide you, you may learn something. Russians have been in Odessa forever. The citizens in Odessa brutally burned we’re long time Russian residents, not your dreaded Invaders as you say. Zelensky’s nachegoons invaded Odessa.
Not the only source, sport. Do a little research yourself, but it might go against your belief in the narrative of the mainstream media and the foolproof, Almighty “fact checkers”.
Ignorance is bliss. You must be ecstatic.
“Ignorance is bliss. You must be ecstatic.”
Ditto back at you.
Russia gave up its claims to Ukraine and Odessa thirty years ago when it recognized Ukrainian independence.
All the history that came before that is irrelevant.
As to the Russian invaders and your comment my response is a $250 donation to https://www.uuarc.org/
Please, live by the sword, die by the sword. Your Russian Odesskaya Druzhina (Russian: Одесская дружина) armed with bats and firearms at Hretska Street attacked a pro-Maidan rally and the got their butts kicked.
